Descripción
The meaning of the title is that pip install . from source can work without a local CTK environment (no need to set CUDA_PATH and all that). Everything is purely pip-wheel based.
This is actually doable, I just don't believe there is a serious use case because we really want users to not build from source, nor do I want to spend my time on enabling it, but I can be convinced. Anyway it's worth writing this up somewhere in the public.
The whole thing relies on the fact that building bindings just need a host compiler; no NVCC is needed. The steps is as follows:
- We list needed CTK wheels in the
[build-system.requires]session. They will provide the needed headers. - Since
setuptoolsdoes not provide a way for us to programmatically query the path to the isolated build environment at build time, we search the potential paths based on the assumption thatsys.pathmust be updated forsetuptoolsto find the build env. - We pass
<build env path>tosetuptoolsso that the CUDA headers can be found by gcc/msvc.
I enabled this for nvmath-python and it did worked like a charm, but the situation was a lot simpler than driver/runtime modules that we have here.

Línea de trabajo
Comienza comparando la configuración de compilación de cuda-python con el pyproject.toml de nvmath-python mencionado y el enfoque de builder/utils.py. Determina si una instalación desde código fuente pip-wheel-only puede localizar los headers de CTK sin CUDA_PATH; se considera terminado cuando pip install . se completa correctamente sin un entorno CTK local.
